Norwich boss Hughton explains absence of West Ham target Snodgrass

Norwich City boss Chris Hughton insists there's nothing untoward over the absence of Robert Snodgrass for their friendly with Brighton.

West Ham United are chasing the Scotland midfielder.

"It is very, very simple and I can set the record straight. It is a family issue," he said. "If he is not with us at Cambridge United then definitely at Braga. Any speculation is wide of the mark. It is a personal family issue and we look forward to seeing him again later this week. Certainly the ones who didn't start here will be involved at Cambridge, along with Wes, who we chose to leave out."
